The leader of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice Party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said on Saturday his nation did not invite refugees into the country and has a moral right to refuse their entry — amid an escalation of tensions with Brussels ahead of President Donald Trump’s visit to Poland this week.

“No one will impose a social catastrophe on us just because we are receiving EU funds. All of you know that I mean the immigrants that are flooding into Europe and their compulsory relocation,” Kaczynski said.

“We didn’t exploit the countries where the refugees are arriving from, we didn’t use their labour force, and, finally, we aren’t calling them to Europe,” Kaczynski continued.

“We have a full moral right to say ‘no,'” he said. “There is no reason for us to radically lower our living standards and the quality of life in Poland,” he added. Kaczynski also implied that the EU subsidies Poland receives are a pittance considering the country’s suffering during the second world war.

The comments, which Kaczynski made at the party’s annual conference, came just days before Trump is scheduled to visit the eastern European nation to participate in the G-20 Summit.

Along with Hungary, Poland has been leading the charge against the EU’s embrace of mass Muslim migration, and it seems President Trump approves.

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said on Friday that during his trip to Poland, Trump will ask other European nations to “take inspiration” from the conservative Catholic country and and praise its “emergence as a European power.”

It’s highly unlikely that Poland’s western European peers will heed Trump’s call to “take inspiration” from Poland. Nevertheless, Trump’s visit will highlight the extent to which the current administration is at odds with the prevailing globalist embrace of mass migration.

One country that needs little convincing to take inspiration from Poland when it comes to the issue is Hungary, where President Viktor Orban has been waging his own personal war of words against the EU’s demand for member nations to accept migrant quotas.

“The Hungarians do not want to take in illegal migrants, it is clear … that the truth is that we do not want to accommodate even one, not even temporarily, in any way,” Orban said last week during a Fidesz party conference.

“We do not want to participate in the German experiment in the falsification of history, which tries to blame Hungary for letting the migrants into Europe,” said Orban. “Multiculturalism has utterly failed, and they want its price to be paid by all European Union member states, including Hungary.”

“The migrants were unwisely let into Western countries; now they want to distribute them into countries who defended themselves and did not let them into their territory,” Orban said.
